Sun Fei shook his head, his gaze softening slightly as he looked at Oleg. The fact that this fatso behaved like that just now at least showed that he still had some conscience, and it wasn't for nothing that Sun Fei had gone to great lengths to protect him.
"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing!"
Warden Oleg was right; the world beyond the black steel gate was indeed extremely dangerous. Previous King had sent many to explore it, but all had vanished without a trace. However, Sun Fei had a compelling reason to go and see for himself. He needed to quickly understand what was hidden there. From any perspective, Chambord City held countless mysteries. Although it appeared beautiful and enigmatic, for Chambord City, it was like sitting on a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Therefore, Sun Fei had to keep the potential risks of the 'volcano' erupting within manageable limits.
Of course, Sun Fei wasn't taking this risk without any certainty.
After clearing the first level of the Diablo World, [ Rogue Encampment ], for all seven professions, the rewards gave Sun Fei more confidence to explore the treacherous labyrinth. Before officially entering the pitch-black steel gate, he needed to make some arrangements. Sun Fei had a clear premonition that his departure might be for a long time, so he had to ensure that all the work in Chambord City would continue to run smoothly after he left.
The next day, Sun Fei began preparations for his adventure after officially entering the giant steel gate.
Besides a large amount of long ropes and paint, there was also food and water, all prepared privately by Warden Oleg. Apart from this fat man whom Sun Fei was very good at using, no one else in Chambord City knew about Sun Fei's plan.
At the same time, Sun Fei also finalized the plans for [ City of Heroes ].
A higher-level institution than the ' Chambord City Civil and Martial School ', the Chambord City University ', was quietly established in the [ City of Heroes ]. While the School of Civil and Martial Arts offered basic courses in martial arts and magical meditation taught by Brook and others, the ' Chambord City University ' curriculum was far more specialized and detailed. Sister Akara taught mystical potion-making and scroll crafting; the female Rogue leader Kashya taught magical archery; the dark blacksmith Charsi taught forging and equipment enchanting; the lecherous old man Cain taught magical principles and magical meditation; and the perennial extra, the boatman Warriv, taught marching, shipping, and wilderness survival skills. Meanwhile, the NPC Fatty Gheed, who had always hidden deep within the [ Rogue Encampment ] and loved gambling and fraud, was Summon to the real world by Sun Fei in the name of the supreme leader of the [ Rogue Encampment ]. He could teach fraud, diplomacy, and psychology...
In addition to serving as the principal, Sun Fei single-handedly established several highly specialized disciplines, including assassination, combat, beast taming, the four elemental magics of ice, fire, electricity, and poison, healing magic, projectile weaponry such as bows and javelins, and magic trap creation.
The school was located in the City of Heroes. The classrooms had already been built when the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City was being renovated. In addition to the teachers, each department was equipped with ample space and laboratories. It can be said that the infrastructure was complete. Sun Fei almost completely restored the configuration of the third-rate school he attended in his previous life.
Of course, there are also entertainment facilities.
On a whim, Sun Fei carved out three swimming pools, a small wine cellar, a soccer field, and two basketball courts within the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City. He then had his skillful fiancées Angela and Jima, create rudimentary basketball and soccer ball shells, filling them with inflated, durable monster bladders. After several improvements, they were virtually indistinguishable from the meticulously crafted basketballs and soccer balls made by machines in his previous life. It was no accident that basketball and soccer had become so popular in his previous world. With Sun Fei Sun Fei's guidance and involvement, basketball and soccer quickly swept through Chambord City and the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City, far exceeding his expectations. Previously, many Chambord City residents only took leisurely strolls after meals; now, these two sports occupied a significant portion of their free time. A basketball team composed of twenty-two warriors, including Drogba and Pierce, swept through Chambord City unchallenged... Cultural and sports activities flourished in Chambord City.
Of course, the existence of the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City will remain a secret in China for the time being.
According to Sun Fei's plan, the academy would primarily select students from the children of the Chambord City Civil and Martial School and loyal soldiers with war experience. Aside from extremely strict requirements on identity and loyalty, other factors such as aptitude, age, and background—things that were typically stringent in the Azeroth Continent —would be less important. This was because Chambord City was currently in dire need of talent, Sun Fei, as a pioneer of innovation, had to be open-minded and recruit talent regardless of background!
However, the part of [ City of Heroes ] that these students can access is only the section before the first eleven of the twenty-two steel defensive gates. This is also where the main part of ' Chambord City University ', classrooms, and experimental areas are located. They cannot see the core area of the mountain's interior space. Only those who pass numerous tests have the opportunity to gain His King King's approval and enter the core area beyond the last eleven gates.
Besides talent development mechanisms, military facilities are another major area that Sun Fei values.
Sun Fei incorporated all the special forces training systems and methods he had seen on television and in books in his previous life into the military school in the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City. Some suggested magic items could help achieve the effects of live-fire explosions or fire scenes he had seen in his previous life. High and low walls, ropes, obstacles, barbed wire crawling, etc., were all perfectly implemented in the military training ground according to Sun Fei's design. In addition to these relatively common training settings, Sun Fei also set up an extremely dangerous combat training ground that no one would have imagined.
This is a massive pit ten meters deep, with a small 'steel elevator' installed around its perimeter. Only experts of at least Three-Star Class can enter and exit this pit via this 'elevator'. Within this pit, Sun Fei has raised dozens of monsters never seen in Chambord City, but extremely familiar to everyone in the Diablo World— [ Fallen ], or more precisely, fifteen [ Fallen ] and one [ Fallen Shaman ].
"Each of these monsters should possess strength approaching that of One-Star Warrior. The slightly larger monster wielding the strange magic wand is at the One-Star Class Initial Stage. They are extremely cruel and cunning, their only weakness being their cowardly nature. I need to ensure the safety of our warriors as they engage these monsters in combat to gain practical experience. As long as you don't kill that tall [ Fallen Shaman ], who can continuously resurrect dead monsters using magic, we won't have to worry about finding replacements after we've wiped them out."
Sun Fei handed over Warden Oleg, Taurus Gold Saint Drogba, Capricorn Gold Saint Pierce, and Čech to his side, carefully instructing them on the use of the beast-fighting arena. Then, he personally led everyone down to experience the combat power of the [ Fallen ]. With Sun Fei, a master who could instantly kill monsters, the group did not encounter any danger. After gaining a clear understanding of the monsters' strength, Sun Fei handed the area over to Petr Čech, the strongest among them.
The Summon of these monsters is actually a new ability of the [ Summon ] skill, one of the three divine skills, after Sun Fei completed the [ Rogue Encampment ] with the seven classes and received an upgrade reward. By consuming a certain amount of experience points, Sun Fei can Summon any type of monster in the first act of [ Rogue Encampment ], and even the major boss Summon. However, he cannot control the Summon monsters yet, so Sun Fei came up with this method to hone the soldiers' combat skills.
After all this was done, everything in Chambord City began to run smoothly again, and even King Sun Fei's temporary departure had little impact.
After spending some time with his fiancée Angela, Sun Fei carefully observed and adjusted the amount of [ Hulk Potion ] needed to be added to the feed for the Crimson Flame Beast and other military horses. He then entrusted this important task to his fiancée Angela, who had an incredible natural affinity for animals. He then announced that he would be going into seclusion for a month, claiming that he would begin to focus on cultivating a powerful martial art.
In reality, Sun Fei, carrying a large amount of pre-prepared items, arrived with Warden Oleg at the deepest part of the [ City of Heroes ] and knocked on the iron gate that had been sealed for nearly a hundred years, finally opening it.
"After I enter, you must immediately close this iron gate again. No one is allowed to open it. A month later, if I knock on this iron gate, you must immediately order someone to open it. Do you understand?" Before entering the deep passageway behind the iron gate, Sun Fei turned around and solemnly gave the warden Oleg a final instruction.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The fat man knew he couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to strictly follow Sun Fei's orders.
Sun Fei turned and stepped into the dark and deep passageway.
Then, Warden Oleg channeled his Dou Qi and slowly closed the massive steel gate again, carefully erasing any trace of its opening. No one could tell that this gate, which had been sealed for nearly a century, had just been opened.
Chambord City began to develop rapidly after Sun Fei's quiet departure.
Of course, Sun Fei had also left some contingency plans before entering the tunnel. With powerful Diablo World experts such as the Five-Star Class Rogue leader Kashya and Akara, as well as female Rogue, in charge, plus the presence of the Right Chancellor Best in terms of civil affairs and the two giants Gordon Brook in terms of military affairs, even if Sun Fei was temporarily gone, Chambord City did not need to worry about any enemies forcing their way to the city.
